I imagine that the big bet Netflix made on The Crown, including an exquisite setting that must have cost a fortune, worked out well, that brilliance can also be profitable, that many viewers from all walks of life benefited from it are thrilled, you regret. Once it's over, they'll remember it. It is a luxurious product written and produced with intelligence, realism and imagination, something that is underestimated by production companies whose only goal is to make money and who are convinced that the general public will like it swallows everything they throw at her.
In my opinion, the first four seasons are great. And in the fifth and sixth it decreases slightly. Maybe because we had too much information and knowledge about the history of Diana of Wales. But there are very good moments at the end of the series. The bitterness, introspection and conviction that life has taken its toll on him, this little teenage prince whose mother has died, are well described. The result is more than worthy, but something was lost along the way.

I have no interest in the English monarchy at all. No monarchy. But I love how The Crown portrayed the people it's made up of and their circumstances. And I will remember some of his chapters. The one about the fog entering London and causing disaster. Prince Charles' stay in Wales and the collapse of a school due to a mining accident. And my favorite: the beginning of the tortuous and passionate relationship between Princess Margaret and photographer Tony Armstrong. Everything there was sensual, elegant, subtle, hypnotic. Thank you for everything, The Crown.
